Job description

Alleyn's School are seeking to appoint a full-time teacher of Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish and French) from Thursday 29 August 2024.

The successful candidate will have necessary skills, and confident to teach French and Spanish at KS3 and 4 - and at least one of these subjects to A Level - preferably Spanish (including film or literature).

We are an industrious, visionary, and forward-thinking department with a strong sense of collegiality at the heart of everything we do. Commitment, enthusiasm, passion, and outstanding subject knowledge, alongside a capacity for hard and sustained work, are vital qualities in any candidate seeking a position in our Modern Languages Department.

This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their career (e.g. an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession (we have a full training and induction programme in place).

Above all, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and well-qualified, with a real love for Modern Foreign Languages and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.

We have our own competitive salary scale and accommodation may be available.

If you would like to apply, our application form needs to be completed, together with the Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form, and we also require a CV and a covering letter addressed to Mrs Jane Lunnon, the Head,  explaining why you are interested in this particular position at Alleyn’s and why you think it would suit you at this time in your career.

The deadline for applications is midday on Wednesday 13 March 2024.

Interviews are planned for Wednesday 20 March 2024and further details will be sent to invited applicants who will also be asked to plan and teach a lesson.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss an application, you are very welcome to contact the Personnel Administrator ([email protected], 020 8299 8009).

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. Alleyn’s is an Equal Opportunities employer.
